I would remove it from the tank and dispose of it. Injured fish can grow fungus, other fish bite at them, and most fish that are injured don't recover. If you have other fish in the aquarium and want to keep them well, that's what I'd do.(I have a 55 gal and an 80 gal)

Another option, would also be to remove the Betta and place it in a small clear cup or glass, container shallow would be better, let the betta rest, and see if it starts to swim upright, it may take a few days,just because a fish is injured is no reason to dispose of it, only if it dies would I do that. removing it from the larger tank is the right thing to do.

Why the injured person lying down?

Will lying and seating affect your breathing rate?

Yes, lying down or sitting can affect your breathing rate. In a supine position (lying down), the diaphragm may have less room to move, which can lead to shallow breathing, particularly in individuals with certain respiratory conditions. Conversely, sitting up can promote better lung expansion and facilitate deeper breaths, often resulting in a more efficient breathing rate. Overall, posture plays a significant role in respiratory mechanics.

Is he lying to show his feelings to you?

Expressing feeling has nothing to do with lying . If you are in relationship you should never lie to your partner . Lying never leads to anything positive (except for a surprise) .Lying is simply lying and has nothing to do with feelings and in fact, it is disrespectful towards you. If he really loved you he should have no problem telling you the truth.


Your goldfish was injured and you moved him to another tank - he is lying on the bottom and not eating - is he dying?

It is possible, but the goldfish might not want to eat. It's injured, and it's trying to rest. It depends how bad the injury is too.
